Trafalgar Theatre, London
“You have this idea in your head of the person you could be”
Joe Locke (Heartstopper, Agatha All Along) stars in a stunning new production of CLARKSTON – an emotionally intimate play by critically acclaimed writer Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale), directed by award-winner, Jack Serio. Joining the cast is rising star and BIFA nominee Ruaridh Mollica and Evening Standard Theatre Award nominee Sophie Melville.
On a journey West to rediscover himself, Jake unexpectedly meets Chris – a kindred soul hiding in a night shift at a Costco in a rural American town. As their bond deepens, so does their sense of adventure. Maybe they could finally give life new meaning by chasing something more – like the intrepid explorers Lewis and Clark before them.
CLARKSTON is a modern frontier story that blazes a trail through friendship, acceptance, love and the hope of new discoveries.
Opening at Trafalgar Theatre for a strictly limited 9 week run from Wednesday 17 September – Saturday 22 November.
